Black and White Book Project

By Made In Bristol  Thursday Oct 25, 2018

When graphic designer Ruth Bradford had her first baby and found that newborns can only see black and white, she was motivated to design a book that would capture her baby’s attention, provide visual stimulation and look great too!

Amazing Animals from Southeast Asia black and white board book by Black and White Book Project. Price: £7.50.

The book was an instant success and further books, flash cards and prints soon followed. Ruth chose a diverse selection of animals from Africa, Asia and Australia and, in an effort to give something back to the animals that inspired her, she donates 25% of her profits to wildlife charities in those areas.

Monochrome animal board books for babies and toddlers by Black and White Book Project. Price: £7.50.

Ruth is Bristol-based and her designs have won many awards, including, silver medal Made For Mums Awards 2018 for Best Baby & Toddler Book and a silver medal Junior Design Awards 2018 for Best Book for Age 0-2.
